(At the Mikaelson's Home)
(Elijah's P.O.V.)
"Please tell me you're not just going to sit in that chair all day." I heard someone say.
I looked up from the book I was reading in my chair and saw Rebekah enter the room.
"Would it be so terrible if I did?" I asked.
"You've been sitting in that chair, reading the same book for three days." Rebekah said. "Stop being a hermit and go outside."
"Maybe I will if you will." I said.
"They're looking for me ever since what happened to Elena, Matt, and Alaric." She said. "First chance they get, I'll be history. Especially if Damon sees me."
"She has a point, brother." I heard someone say.
I looked toward the new voice and saw Klaus had joined us.
"She leaves this house, there will be no mercy from the Salvatore clan." Klaus said. "Despite her being un-killable. However, if you leave the house, they won't try to stake you."
"You are the only one of this family they seem to like at the moment." Rebekah said, clearly siding with Klaus.
I studied my siblings.
"If you want something, just ask me. Don't be cryptic." I said, not in the mood.
"Try to convince them I did what I thought was right." Rebekah said. "Any one of them would have done the same thing if it was their brother they thought were dead. I already tried apologizing….It didn't exactly work."
I debated what Rebekah asked.
"Fine." I said. "I will. And to prove I'm not a hermit, I will also go to the library."
"Yes, because going to the library isn't hermit of you." Klaus said smirking, as I closed my book and stood up.
"At least I'm not the one afraid to go outside." I retorted. "Even if there was a chance I would be staked."
Klaus's smirk vanished. Being replaced by narrowing eyes.

I knocked on the door to the Salvatore house and waited.
A couple seconds went by, before the door was finally opened.
"Elijah," Jeremy said in surprise, opening the door more.
"Jeremy." I said in greeting. "May I come in?"
"Sure." Jeremy said.
I walked inside, and he closed the door.
"I assume Elena and Stefan are here as well?" I asked, looking at him.
"Yeah. They're upstairs." Jeremy said.
"Would you mind getting them for me?" I asked. "I would like to have a word with them."
"Sure." Jeremy said. "One second."
Then, Jeremy headed toward the stairs, and went up them.
I walked over to the fire place as I listened to their conversation.
"What do you mean Elijah's here?" I heard Elena say. "Why is he here?"
"I don't know." I heard Jeremy say.
"Wait, Damon, back up." I heard Stefan say confused. "What do you mean there's someone looking for Elijah?"
That perked my interest.
"Someone's looking for Elijah?" I heard Elena ask, also confused.
"Hold on, Elena." I heard Stefan say. "…Alright Damon. We'll keep a look out."
"What's going on?" I heard Jeremy ask.
"There's this girl in town." I heard Stefan say. "She talked to Damon and Matt at the Mystic Grill about a couple minutes ago, and she asked them where she would find one of our favorite Originals."
"Maybe that's why Elijah's here." I heard Jeremy say.
"What do you mean?" I heard Stefan ask.
"Elijah is downstairs right now." I heard Jeremy say. "He wanted to talk to us about something."
It was silent for a moment, then I heard footsteps coming my way.
I smiled a little at their enthusiasm to know why I was here and assuming it was about the new resident to Mystic Falls.
Unfortunately for them, I didn't even know who this girl was.
But I do plan to find out.
"Elijah," I heard Stefan say behind me.
I turned around and faced Stefan, Elena, and Jeremy.
"Stefan, Elena." I said in greeting. "I trust everything is well?"
"Yes." Stefan said. "What can we help you with?"
"I wanted to talk about Rebekah." I said. "I understand you're upset with what happened in regards of her revenge towards you after thinking Niklaus was dead. And while I don't blame you for being furious with her, I would like for you to consider forgiving her."
"Forgive her?" Elena asked in disbelief.
"Yes." I said.
"She killed Alaric." Elena said. "Not to mention, she technically killed me too. And she tried to kill Matt. I don't think she will ever be forgiven for doing that."
"Technically, in order to kill Alaric you had to die as well." I reminded her. "There was no other way around that. And to be fair, Alaric wasn't Alaric anymore. Thanks to my mother. But I know Rebekah is sorry for what she had done. Not to mention, any one of you would have done the same thing Rebekah did if it were your sibling, and you were stricken by grief so powerful, you wanted revenge on the person who killed them. You wouldn't have stopped, until said person was dead, or they were caused the same pain you were feeling."
They were silent.
"All I ask, is to think about it." I said.
"We will." Stefan said.
I gave him a nod, and headed toward the door.
"Elijah," I heard Elena call after me.
I stopped walking and looked at them.
"There's word going around town that a girl is looking for you." Elena began.
"Ah, yes. Her." I said, smiling a little.
"You know who she is?" Jeremy asked.
"Yes." I said. "No need to worry about her."
Then, I turned back around, and left the house.
I'm not sure why I said that I knew her. But saying that I did, felt like the right thing to do.
